Showed how quick things can go from a seemingly idyllic time smoking rock and roller-skating to music to "Bitch, you're going to need to come up off that necklace" once the crack is gone. Also shows how thin the line is between Mel and Wanda.

See, I don't blame Andre here. I feel like the show did a good job of showing how Mel smoking crack didn't directly have anything to do with Franklin or Andre. She was just partying before heading off to school, got peer-pressured by a guy she liked, and bang, now she's willing to spend all her money on rocks.

Agree on both counts.

I damn near yelled when they showed dude nose-diving out the window.

It's going to get super ugly.
